  Before you Start

  Who can use this feature

  Users on Any plan

  Everyone with a Figma Account can register a Profile. You can only have one profile per Figma account.

  Publishing Files to your Profile is currently in beta. Only members of the Figma Community beta can publish Files.

  Community Profiles showcase your contributions to the Figma Community. Specifically, any Plugins or Files you've published publicly to Figma.

  You can choose which Files to publish to your Profile. These could be templates, wireframe or UI kits, and asset libraries. Or even portfolios, presentations, and other design tools or resources.

  Organization Admins can publish Files to an Organization's Profile. They can also contribute to their own public Profile from their Personal accounts.

  View Public Profiles

  Every Public Profile has a @handle. This handles makes up their unique Figma URL e.g. https://www.figma.com/@figma

  You can use this URL to view a community member's Public Profile. You won't have to be a part of their Team, or Organization, to view their Profile.

  Every Profile will have:

  1. Unique URL and Handle e.g. https://www.figma.com/@figma
  2. Profile Picture
  3. Cover Artwork
  4. Your Account Name
  5. Location (e.g. San Francisco or San Francisco, California)
  6. Website (e.g. your Dribbble profile, professional website, LinkedIn or portfolio)
  7. A Description about yourself
  8. List of Published Plugins and Files
     

     🔗Browse, Install and Run Plugins 
     🔗Duplicate Files from the Figma Community

  

  Tip! We recommend you set or Update your Profile Handle in your Account Settings. This makes it easier for you to share your profile with others!

  Preview your Profile

  You can preview your Profile from your Figma Account. This allows you to check out what other Figma community members will see, when they view your Profile.

  1. Open the File Browser.
  2. Click on your name in the top-left corner to open your Account.
  3. Select the Public tab to view the contents of your profile.

  Every Profile will have a unique Handle. This forms part of the URL you can use to share your Profile.

  File Remixes

  To help with attribution, Figma tracks every time a file from the Community is duplicated. This allows us to trace duplicated files back to the original creator.

  Remixes are files that have been published to the Community that originally came from another Community file.

  When you remix a File we will:

  • Add an attribution to the file page to show the original file and creator
  • Add this file to the Remixes section of the original file page.

  

  Note: We only detail immediate connections between files. This includes attributions to the parent file on a remixed file, and any direct remixes on the original file page.

  Reporting violations

  Outside of published remixes, we aren't currently able to track Files to ensure appropriate attribution.

  If you do notice that someone is not meeting these requirements, please get in touch and let us know! Contact the support team directly via email: support@figma.com.

  • Files and Plugins by name
  • Files and Plugins by tags (Alphanumeric characters only: a-z and 1-9 )
  • Creators using their name or handle

  We group results by Files, Plugins and Creators. The badge next to each tab allows you to see how many results there are for each resource.

  Community files

  Creators can publish snapshots of their design files to share them with the Community. This allows anyone in the world to duplicate, inspect, and remix them.

  Community Files can be any Figma File the creator chose to share with the Community.

  This could be anything from a full UI or design kits - like Google's Material design - to educational resources, like our Figma playground files.

  To provide better feedback loops for content creators, we also track Remixes. Remixes are files that have been published to the Community that originally came from another Community file.

  Before you Start

  🚧This feature is currently in beta

  Only members of the Figma Community beta can publish Files

  You can join the Figma Community beta on any Figma plan

  Only users with Edit access to a File can publish

  Community profiles showcase creator contributions to the Figma Community. This includes any Plugins you've developed, as well as any Files you want to share publicly.

  We support profiles for Creators, Teams and Organizations.

  Creator profiles

  • ✅Users on Any Figma plan can create a Personal profile

  There isn't currently a way to publish Files to more than one profile, or to merge two profiles. If you have work and personal accounts, we recommend picking one to create your profile from.

  There are a few nuances to each approach. Check out the information below to see which approach is best for you!

  Personal Account

  If you have a personal Figma account, you can publish Files to your profile there. This gives you full creative control over your profile. You can create a Personal profile on any Figma plan.

  Organization Account

  If you are part of an Organization, we link your profile to your company email. This means that any Files or Plugins you create within the Organization will belong to the Organization.

  Should you leave or be removed from the Organization, you will no longer have access to this profile and its Files or Plugins.

  If you are an Organization Admin, you can publish Files and Plugins to the Organization's Community profile.

  If you aren't an Organization Admin, you won't be able to publish Files and Plugins to the Organization's Community profile.

  If you want to publish Files and Plugins from your company email, you can switch to your Personal space and publish a File there.

  If you want to publish to a profile that you have complete control and ownership over, we recommend publishing from an account that isn't linked to your company email.

  Team profiles

  • ✅Users on Professional, Student and Starter teams can create Team profiles. Teams in an Organization can also create Team profiles.
  • ✅Only Team Owners and Admins can publish Files and Plugins to a Team profile

  If you are an Admin on a Team, then you can publish Files from that team to the Team profile.

  • The File has to live within that team to post it to the team profile
  • You can't move a published files between teams
  • You can't publish a file to multiple Profiles

  Organization profiles

  • ✅ Users on the Figma Organization plan can create an Organization profile
  • ✅ Only Organization Admins can publish Files and Plugins to an Organization profile

  If you are an Organization Admin, you can publish Files to your Organization's Profile. You must be in the Organization space, not your Personal space, to do so.

  You can switch between spaces in the bottom-left corner of the File Browser.

  • You can't publish files from secret teams in an Organization
  • The File has to live within the Organization m to post it to the Organization
  • You can't move a published files between teams
  • You can't publish a file to multiple Profiles. For example: the Organization profile and an individual creator's profile.

  Note: There isn't currently a way to attribute a File published in an Organization to a specific creator, or more than one contributor. We're exploring this for future iterations!

  Which profile(s) can I publish to?

  We determine which profiles you can publish to based on your permissions within a Team or Organization.
